A cost-consequence analysis of a nudge intervention to improve hospital care of older people at the end of life: results from a stepped-wedge cluster randomised trial
This cost-consequence analysis found that the intervention was not effective in reducing the cost of non-beneficial treatment, which is consistent with the broader InterACT results. This simple nudge-intervention alone may not be sufficient to impact health service resource use and costs in the complex end-of-life setting.
